Maybe you are trying to force it -or trying too hard right now?
You could try this. But you will need a very gentle and very relaxed mind-set to experiment.
Face the idea of sleep deprivation (so this might be nicer done at a weekend, or whenever you don't have much to do the next day.) It is very simple.
Go to bed and let yourself sleep naturally. Set the alarm for 4 hours later. When the alarm goes off, get up straight away and go into another room. Get a coffee if you like! (but nothing to eat) Stay up doing something very gentle like reading about astral projection (?) or anything else pretty easy to do for about 1 hour. Then go back to lie down in bed. Fully relax and keep the idea of leaving your body in mind but don't push it. If you fall asleep -so what?
You will almost certainly get awakened by full body vibrations soon after. So just get out of bed! You will be out of body! At the very least you may experience your legs and arms floating out of body, which is a start and will give you a boost.
After all this experimenting is over and you've had enough you can let yourself just go back to sleep. So if you can sleep late you won't even wake up tired.
Oh one tip. If you DO have an out of body experience, get up to write it down first or you might forget if you sleep again.
("nothing to eat" might be a whimsical thing. I once had an OBE straight after eating half a pack of fruit shortcake biscuits with a coffee in the middle of the night. But usually it works best on an empty stomach.)
